Updated!

just updates POFAMU,
PMMail Offline Folder/Archive Maintnance Utility, and the file (pofamu1a.zip, 41.576Kb) was
uploaded on Hobbes. POFAMU allows a PMMail user to programmatically specify routine
mail message maintenance in an 'off-line' (batch) mode. Messages may be moved between
folders and accounts, zipped into folder-based archive files or completely deleted.
Folders are re-indexed as required. A sample control file and .inf documentation
are provided.
This program is for the 'offline' maintenance of PMMAIL folders,
meaning that PMMAIL should not be running when it is invoked. It is designed for
user-programmers; i.e., not for the GUI-bred. The program is directed almost entirely
from a control file.
The program allows the user to specify selection criteria for mail messages using
the fields maintained by PMMAIL in its index files. These criteria are assigned
Reserved Names by POFAMU such as From_name, From_addr and are used to form boolean
expressions.
These expressions are assigned user identifiers called Spec-names. These Spec-names
are used to assign specified actions to selected groups of messages.
Installation
This isn't a GUI program, so I haven't considered building
a desktop object for it, as part of installation. Just copy POFAMU.EXE to any directory
in your PATH statement. You might want to copy a program template to the desktop
and build an object that references your 'daily' control file in the Parameters
field.
Using any ASCII text editor, edit your control file and place it in the working
directory referenced by the new program object.
You might want to add the invocation to your 'chron' or 'alarm clock' program
if you are running round the clock.
INFO-ZIP and UNZIP are required for operation of the Archive function.
